Don’t Fall in Love With Fetterman
Kurt Schlichter
Back about a million years ago, long before I got with the hot wife, I was dating this very nice girl who asked me, shyly and with some hesitation, if I would take her to Outback Steakhouse. I was planning on taking her someplace very expensive, but Outback Steakhouse? Cool – when I was a kid, the Outback Steakhouse of the ‘70s, Sizzler, was a family treat. I could get a blooming onion and save a few bucks – a win-win! So, I took her to Outback Steakhouse and she loved it. She was in heaven. She was a lot like the Republican Party – the world’s cheapest date.
Which brings us to the case of John Fetterman and the occasional Democrats who we Republicans swoon over because they are not completely insane and they don’t seem to hate us. That’s enough to make some of us swoon.
The current Republican infatuation with John Fetterman is just that – an infatuation. Infatuations are neither reasonable nor rational. They’re emotional, and we Republicans tend to get emotional about this kind of rare Democrat. But we shouldn’t be emotional. The guy is a leftist. He’s a very dedicated progressive who believes in a lot of stuff we don’t believe in. But he does agree with us on some issues, and they tend to be sensible stuff – especially since he has recovered from his health issues. He thinks it’s probably a good idea to send illegal alien rapists and murderers back to their Third World hellholes. Outside of Washington, DC, this is not controversial. Inside Washington, DC, you can get over 150 Democrats to vote against the idea. He also sides with Israel over the semi-humans of Hamas. Again, opposing these particular rapists and murderers is not controversial beyond the Beltway, only inside it and in the deep recesses of the blue cities and college campuses. His embrace of these concepts shows a baseline of sanity that you don’t see with regular Democrats, though he also goes in for trans nuttiness, DEI, and the redistribution of the means of production to the workers.
